Dell Mini 9 OSX: How To Install Silverlight

On occasion I feel a need to checkout some web application written in Silverlight.  I usually do this on my MacBook Pro but I wanted to be able to do this on the Dell Mini with out seeing this:

The Silverlight installer incorrectly identifies the Intel N270 Atom as a PowerPC chip. Fortunately there is a work around described in the howto below:

1. Download Silverlight.
2. Open the Silverlight.dmg file and copy Silverlight.3.0.pkg to another directory such as ~/Downloads
3. Using terminal remove the InstallationCheck: 

sudo rm ~/Downloads/Silverlight.3.0.pkg/Contents/Resources/InstallationCheck

After that, double click on the SilverLight.3.0.pkg and follow the installation instructions as usual.
